I've decided against creating a new thread and have decided to post updates for both of my hospital projects here.

Gates Circle Medical Center

This hospital is functional which is a plus in my world. It is on a 50x50 and ignore the lot I'm building on, it is just so I have quick access without having my sim go to work and all that. There are four "buildings" or "parts" that make up the overall complex. From shortest to tallest we start with the lobby. Not much of a building but rather a room connecting all the other buildings. Next is the Patient Service building which is two stories and holds surgery (two rooms), emergency (10 beds), and imaging services (two scanners). There are two buildings that are tied for the tallest title. The Patient Tower is four stories and holds the inpatient care units (Four West and Four South) on the 4th floor and the Cath Lab on the 3rd floor. The other building is the old Patient Tower and has the Cardiac ICU on the 3rd floor and physical therapy (two treadmills) on the 1st floor.

Details

The hospital takes some features from the old Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Hospital which was a hospital near where I live. Sadly, it closed in 2012 and was demolished in late 2015. I decided to build it in the Sims 4 as personally, I believe the building and the history surrounding itself are interesting enough to try and replicate. The hospital was highly accreditated in cardiac care, neurology, and vascular surgery (top 2% in the nation and a reason why the surgery and other "important parts" look clean and modern). A year or so before they closed and moved their services over to the new building, they had already started closing and merging units at the Gates site. To show this a bit, I left 2 floors empty in the patient tower as if they had already closed off and the employees transferred (also helps with computer performance so win-win). Now to what matters, function, the hospital will have 10 exam beds in the ER which should be more than enough. There are also two X-Ray machines, two surgery tables, as well as two treadmills. There will eventually be a lab as well! All the equipment necessary is fairly close to each other and should be good on time but I will eventually play test it to be certain.

Real-life hospital. Best overall image I could find so sorry for the quality.

It looks amazing. The closed section is a great way of incorporating the real life story into your project

Thank you and agree! Around 1990-ish, they merged with 2-3 other hospitals causing a problem since they were all within 3 miles of each other. To not oversaturate the market too much, a few of their services merged with other hospitals or moved over to the other hospitals. This is what caused them to go from about 550 beds in 2000 to 190 beds in 2012 at the time of their closure.

HGH - Minor Update

Recently, the Sims 3 Hospital Set by Hekate999 was converted to the Sims 4 by brittpinkiesims. The set looks lovely and I highly recommend it for anyone to add some atmosphere to their hospitals. The set can be found here.

To add some story to it, the Hillside Hospital Benevolent Association raised funds for the hospital to update their equipment. The new furniture came in ahead of schedule and can already be found around the hospital.

The Intensive Care Unit (I did recolor the beds to try and fit the reference photos I found)

A 1st floor patient room

The updated Emergency Department

An Operating Room

All in all, the set looks lovely. Now onto some build updates.

Outpatient Service area. X-Ray is to the far left (unchanged). The ultrasound/echo room is to the left room with the window. The laboratory is in the center. The blood lab/draw area is to the right.

3rd floor WIP. Still trying to figure out something I like and something that fits. In the center is the elevator shaft as well.

Sad to announce that I somehow managed to lose the Hillside General Hospital. I removed my mod folder to post a different lot to the gallery and that must've caused the lot to default and revert to the original, Maxis lot that was there before the hospital (also never thought to save the lot to my library). Right now, I'm unsure on what to do but I have considered rebuilding as I do have a fair amount of screenshots to use.
